Conservatives Rip Trudeau For Refusing To Acknowledge Genocide Of Christians In The Middle East

In his ‘answer’, Trudeau didn’t even utter the word ‘Christians.’

The longer Justin Trudeau is in power, the more people are noticing a recurring trend.

When it comes to criticism of radical islamism, Justin Trudeau immediately denounces it as “islamophobia,” seeking to shut down any discussion whatsoever.

But when it comes to persecution against other faiths, particularly Christianity, Trudeau is silent.

That was seen once again in Trudeau’s response to a question about why the government is failing to recognize the fact that Christians in the middle east have been subjected to a genocide at the hands of ISIS.

Today in Question Period I asked the Prime Minister to acknowledge the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and to recognize that Christians were victims of genocide at the hands of Daesh/ISIS. The Prime Minister did not answer the question at all, and would not even use the word "Christian" in his response. The government's response to minority persecution around the world has been underwhelming, but on issues impacting Christians in particular, they have steadfastly refused to engage at all.

Trudeau’s ‘answer,’ or lack thereof, has been ripped by the Conservatives.

On Twitter, Andrew Scheer said “Justin Trudeau’s failure to stand up against the persecution of Christians and other minorities around the world is completely unacceptable. Canada’s Conservatives will always defend human rights and the freedom of religion, at home and abroad.”

Here’s what Conservative MP Garnett Genuis said after Question Period:

“Today in Question Period I asked the Prime Minister to acknowledge the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and to recognize that Christians were victims of genocide at the hands of Daesh/ISIS. The Prime Minister did not answer the question at all, and would not even use the word “Christian” in his response. The government’s response to minority persecution around the world has been underwhelming, but on issues impacting Christians in particular, they have steadfastly refused to engage at all.”

Trudeau’s double standard is disturbing, because he not only is refusing to address the threat of radical Islamism, but is failing to impartially stand for a faith still practiced by the largest number of Canadians.

Once again, we see that Trudeau’s supposed defence of ‘human rights’ is selective and based only on his political agenda – not any real conviction or courage.

Did anyone else notice La Trudette’s new hair coif. If you didn’t look again. Its an important sign. Gone is the rakish tossed in a carelessly free way natural way off to the side. Its too 2015-2017. Now it is serious. He knows it’s Act III ’cause of his intense drama experience and his very best role of all is coming up. After work in the makeup department and his hairdresser, he’s presenting himself as a great international statesman and what better way symbolically, than styling himself ‘a la Führer’ coifwise. Note that daring but subdued sweep on the forlocks… Read more »

What about the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant and the open borders.

Trudeau and his government continue to undermine and lessen democracy. His parliament refuses to answer questions on his activities, he pushes through legislation without full consultation. He continues to allow illegals entry into our country. His parliament has become unrepresentative of the people it suppose to serve. Any where his policies and arguments are forced upon us they seem to run into sand. Democracies are failing around the world due to economic stagnation and surges in immigration are most often precursors of trouble. When 400 illegals cross into our country every day and 2% of them disappear we become vulnerable.

Funny that the self-professed Catholic Trudeau won’t stand up for and speak out against the oppression and persecution of Christians in other countries but not so funny when you realize that he and his vile government are busy persecuting Christians right here at home AND bringing in to this country those who persecute Christians where they came from. Trudeau is a divisive and disgusting disgrace of a “Leader”.

What goes around will soon come around for Trudeau and his Liberal cockass. Trudeau will get whats coming to him and Canada will be rid of the worst PM ever elected in the history of Canada. 2019 will not come up fast enough.
